Conformational analysis of nucleic acids revisited: Curves+
We describe Curves+, a new nucleic acid conformational analysis program which is applicable to a wide range of nucleic acid structures, including those with up to four strands and with either canonical or modified bases and backbones. The program is algorithmically simpler and computationally much faster than the earlier Curves approach, although it still provides both helical and backbone para...
متن کاملConformational Flexibility in Nucleic Acids Investigated by NMR Relaxation
Vol. k, No. 3/4 All of the different steps in these processes involving nucleic acids, including control steps, require recognition of unique sites on the nucleic acids, which may be short-lived. The packaging of polynuc1eotides into compact forms in chromatin, ribosomes, and viruses involves folding of the nucleic acids. These and other observations indicate that the deformation of polynucieot...
متن کاملMultivariate curve resolution: a powerful tool for the analysis of conformational transitions in nucleic acids.
A successful application is reported of the multivariate curve resolution alternating least-squares method (MCR-ALS) for the analysis of nucleic acid melting and salt-induced transitions. Under conditions where several structures co-exist in a conformational equilibrium, MCR-ALS analysis of the UV and circular dichroism (CD) spectra at different temperatures, ionic strength and oligonucleotide ...
متن کاملMolecular beacons: colorful analysis of nucleic acids.
The completion of the Humane Genome Project has resulted in an exponential rise in the demand for molecular diagnostic assays. To meet this demand, several innovative technologies have become available for performing homogeneous genetic analyses. For this type of assay, special detector probes are necessary. In 1996, Tyagi and Kramer described fluorogenic hairpin-shaped detector probes, called ...
متن کاملDigital PCR analysis of circulating nucleic acids.
Detection of plasma circulating nucleic acids (CNAs) requires the use of extremely sensitive and precise methods. The commonly used quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) poses certain technical limitations in relation to the precise measurement of CNAs whereas the costs of massively parallel sequencing are still relatively high. Digital PCR (dPCR) now represents an affordable a...
